KORUZA 1.0 electronics now consists of the following modular stack of electronics:

  • RaspberryPi 2B microcomputer
  • KORUZA Raspberry Pi shield (interfacing SFP optical modules, motors and distributing power)
  • Passive PoE power module (providing adjustable 9V and 5V outputs from up to 36V input)
  • Universal Unipolar Stepper driver (controlling motors and green laser modules) - repository
  • SFP extension plug and socket and plug (interfacing SFP modules with media converter and KORUZA Pi Shield)

Currently we are finalizing the control code and verifying correct operation prior to the release.
